Barcelona’s potential starting lineup could look significantly different with Rodri added to the midfield. A FotMob feature titled How Barcelona Could Line Up With Rodri explores the tactical possibilities created by his arrival.

The report focuses on the shape Barcelona could adopt and the balance Rodri would provide in the centre of the pitch. His inclusion would be central to any discussion of how the side distributes responsibility between defensive protection, buildup play and possession.

The available source provides the lineup feature’s headline and accompanying image but does not include the detailed team selection or tactical breakdown. The proposed formation and starting XI therefore remain the subject of the original FotMob analysis.
